    When it comes to the Houston Astros any major change to the franchise raises questions amongst the logo and uniform community about what they’ll do branding-wise when the change happens.

    The Astros have had a history of introducing entirely new looks at moments such as these. The first time they moved into a new stadium they completely changed their name, when they moved again they nearly changed names once again before settling on merely radically changing their colour scheme and uniform style. Every time a new owner took over: change, change, change.

    In 2012-13 the Astros will be experiencing both these events at the same time, I smell change a-comin’. I asked the Houston Astros this week about any plans to change their look to coincide with their league-jump next year, they said that a rebrand in time for 2013 was indeed possible. This came on the heels of new Astros owner, Jim Crane, mentioning he’d seek fan input on a new logo or uniforms.

    wow ... guess this news outdoes AA signing omar vizquel to a minor league deal ... :lol:

    question is: who's gonna play first?

    This is absolutely insane. $214 mil and Prince will be playing first and Miggy is going to have to change roles. How happy could he be about that? Slightly different than a Hanley situation in my mind. Asking a 28 year old to be come a full time DH, espcially someone like Caberea is absolutely nuts.

    Edit: I guess it's a pretty god damn good problem to have though. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

    tigers are gonna smash the ball out of the park next yr if their two young sluggers can co-exist.
    one an alcoholic and the other, a son of an alcoholic. and they play the same position no less.

    ...and this is the contract that may render the Tigers irrelevant in about 2 years.

    I dont know about 2, they have 2 of the top 5 hitters in the game right now in their prime, but the back half of this contact could get bad, although it is only through his age 36 season. I am just really curious to see where the hell they play, expecially once Martinez comes back.

    yea there's only 1 DH and 1B..
    either way they had to do this with losing V-Mart's bat. go tigers
  • Well at least he didn't sign with the cubs and is out of the N.L.

    Thank you Prince for yr time in Milwaukee we will miss you.
  • Awful contract, but that Tigers lineup is going to be dangerous for the next 4-5 years with Prince and Cabrera.

    As a tigers fan, im loving this move. Losing Martinez was going to be pretty hard to overcome. Now, not so much.

    No doubt, my follow up said you guys have 2 of the top 5 hitters in the game in your lineup in their prime. I just don't know what they'll do with Martinez once he comes back and it's pretty crazy that a player like Caberea is going to be relegated to DH.
  • I wouldn't be surprised if Cabrera moves to third. Hes alot more athletic than anyone outside of Detroit gives him credit for. Either way though, I'm absolutely stoked that the Tigers got Prince.

    GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!
    There's a trapdoor in the sun.
  • shermsherm Posts: 708
    I wonder if theyre gonna try Cabrera at 3rd again. That didnt work so well the first time and he was pretty good in the field at first last season. Much improved.

    I can't see him at 3rd long term but maybe the 2 bats make up for the brutal defense at 3rd.

    i know they forced the move...doesn't mean i have to like it! :D

    i think Colt 45's would be the only name change that I could stomach...at least it's their original name.
